Meet J. Michael Straczynski. 54-years-old. Veteran writer of everything from “Babylon 5” to the that “He-Man” cartoon in the 80s (I know, I got excited when I saw that on his resume too.) And overnight success story?...

For Straczynski, suddenly one of the hottest screenwriters in Hollywood (he’s writing films for Paul Greengrass and Marc Forster among others), it’s done nothing less than change the course of his career. “This has transformed my life. In everyone’s life there is an ‘it.’ You get married. You get divorced. You lose a kid. There’s a life before it and a life after it. This was ‘it’ for me.

:p :rolleyes: :D :eek: :eek: :D :rolleyes: :p

Don't forget most "overnight success" stories usually take 20 years hard work. jms has certainly put in his dues.

When I saw the MTV article I laughed to myself and thought that it 38 Joe years to achieve overnight success. I should have included smileys to indicate the irony of the MTV article, but I thought it was self evident. ;)
